The extremely controversial Michael Vick era with the Philadelphia Eagles is over. After 5 year with the Eagles have let him sign with the NY Jets. The Jets in turn cut QB Mark Sanchez after five seasons including an injury shortened 2013 season.

Vick will now compete against 2nd year QB Geno Smith for the starting job on the Jets. Smith, who had an up and down rookie season, led the Jets to an 8-8 record which was not bad for a rookie QB. There is nothing but up for Smith and Vick will give that veteran depth and some controversy that coach Rex Ryan seems to like. Remember this is the same coach that brought Tim Tebow to NYC and then never really used him.

You can bet that Vick will be a lightning rod of controversy when he gets to NYC. First, it will be the off the field stuff then the fans will see him play and realize that there is no there there.

Hey PICK fans! I am back! After a long, dreadful drought I am back and ready to have fun. I was over 85% with my picks when I had my life thrown into a tizzy. But enough about me it’s SUPER BOWL time and it’s here in New Jersey which is a place it will never, ever be again.

It was freaking cold this week. No fun for anyone who wanted to go to any of the SB events.

I must admit I have live in both cities that are in the SB this year. I lived in Federal Way WA and Boulder CO so I have a good understanding of the teams and their fan base. First thing I have to say is enough discussion about the cold and wind affecting Peyton Manning. Have any of these people ever even been to Denver. There is wind there too.

Also, all the cold discussion will go out the window as it may be in the 50′s before game time and about 30 later at night but not the deep freeze, frozen tundra, ice bowl, Titanic Iceberg, mega-storm, doom and gloom, we are all going to die type of weather that will really affect the play on the field. The fans will be cold but who cares about them, most are not even fans of either team.

So who is going to win the BIG GAME, the game of games, the battle to end all battles, etc. etc.

It is nice that the two best teams in each conference are in the SB. Usually, that does not happen but it did this year. So much for the Chefs coming in a close 2nd. LOL Doom on you Andy Reid.

Off to another good start at PRICELSS NFL PICKS as the Rams made Thursday night’s game just too easy. Week 4 includes the first byes of the season and the first game in Wembley Stadium. Of course America only exports the best games over seas as both teams are 0-3 and going nowhere. Look for the tie there just to make sitting in the rain even worse than normal.
